I love this game!
I wish it was discussed more on here.
I think PS1 could handle Half-Life if they tried hard enough.
Of course it could, it managed Quake 2.
However the levels would be piss short and the transitions annoying as fuck. Also the physics/lighting would be totally static.
It would have worked but been a totally gimped version of the game.

Man that SMG feels so much better than in final version
What went wrong?

World
Left to the Star of David. However, SMW is pretty good, I just like the leaf and some of the stages more.
Which are the games with the most beautiful pixel art?
You already posted it.
>>2993881
Yeah I don't think for a second that I could top Metal Slug, although I'm sure there's solid competition out there if you look close enough.
Alien Soldier had some great art in it though.
>>2993881
Never going to win any prizes but I always liked the sprite art and animation of Earthworm Jim.
Why were SMS covers so God awful?

Monster rancher 2.
>>2992436
I love how the Red/Blue fight keeps boiling down to Charmander/Squirtle when you could choose either of them in either game. It never comes around to the real argument.

Just finished Shadow Warrior (Classic Redux)
Second hardest difficulty
Was very frustrating at many parts, but overall really enjoyable and better than most modern shooters.
Should I continue with both expansion packs? or play something like Blood or Quake 2?
What would you rate it?
>>2992417
Wait hold up a sec faggot
>better than most modern shooters.
Which modern shooters do you think are better than sw?
>>2992424
Hm
STALKER series, killing floor 1, FEAR,Bioshock?..yeah I don't know.
Not better, but as enjoyable I guess?
Unfortunately modern single player FPS games are few and far between and are slapped togeather slop and shit. So yeah SW is better than 95%
Recommend some similar games?
Go play Blood. It has far more intuitive and memorable levels, is more difficult and has a really cool atmosphere. Probably the best build engine game, SW doesn't come close.
It is happening. It is real. This is a thing now. It allows for higher frame rates, and does not seem to cause issues. What has it now:
1. A special build of PCSX-R.
https://github.com/SonofUgly/PCSX-Reloaded/releases
2. Latest versions of BettlePSX-Libretro (Retroarch core).
Test it and post results.
Next step would be 60fps hacks perhaps?
WOW over clocking an emulator? This changes everything. Checkmate console plebs. Your oscillators aren't shit.
>>2992054
PS1 over clocking, for whatever reason hasn't been done before. PS1 emulation overall is kind of stagnant.
>>2992056
well i think achieveing a higher framerate is cool but if it causes the game to run faster its kinda annoying
how to fight against reptile?
enable cheat menu, flag 2 and 3 on, win in the pit level with double flawless and fitality...no reptile.
play normal without any cheats...beat the game 6 times...no reptile an no silhouettes on the moon...never.
mksecrets:
"Start a One Player Game. At The Pit, Look to the Moon. There must be silhouettes gliding past - this will occur every 6th game. Win Double Flawless Victory with Fatality without Blocking at all"
done but no reptile....
what is reptile for a fucking asshole?
>>2991875
>no silhouettes on the moon...never
Not sure if is only 6 times. I have the feeling it could be more. I used to play it for hours as a kid, and I remember it took me a really long time to get the silhouettes for the first time.
But yeah, if I recall correctly it can be done. I didn't knew about the cheat menu when I played it back then, and I have clear memories of fighting against Reptile more than once..
>>2991875
because your cart is counterfeit
>>2991875
never had a problem
gotta have those silhouettes
gotta make sure not to push block ever, even for a special move
gotta remember that pit uppercut doesn't count as a fatality
we're going to have to remote into your genesis and see what you're doing wrong

What's the difference between KOF 99 and 99 Evo, and which version is better?
also retro KOF thread.
>>2989679
Isn't EVO basically the line up of 98 with additional features? It's been a while since I had a DC and that game.
>>2989695
no that was this guy
>>2989679
99 Evo had a few extra striker-only characters and 3D backgrounds, I don't recall if it also had the Arrange soundtrack, gameplay is the same as the arcade version, as far as I remember
So the internet archive just released a bunch of Windows 3.1 games for your browser.
https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_win3_games
Anybody have any favorites? Combat Tanks, Jewel Thief, Jezzball, Pipe Dream, Castle of the Winds, all bring back memories. The collection isn't very well sorted (half of them are under "Windows 3.1 Shareware"), but still, oldass windows games in your browser.
It may be just as well because there's really not a good way to play old Windows games on modern hardware. Sort of a gaping hole in emulation capabilities.
>>2989116
VMs?
There's too much lag, even though my PC can play the latest games.
Do you tend to prefer retro games over newer games, and if so, why?
I've been playing the first Tomb Raider for the first time (I was a Nintendo kid growing up so I missed out on the original Playstation), and while it definitely is on the clunky side, I feel it has a certain mystique that modern games don't have. This might be a bit of a stretch, but I find that the clunkiness of the controls actually adds to the experience, because scaling a large vertical room actually feels rewarding because the jumps are tricky to make. I find that modern games would eliminate...

>What draws you to retro games over modern ones?
The simple non long winded answer is modern games as a whole are garbage. They're filled with dumb down games play. You also have all the horrible DLC, online paywalls, etc.
I also grew up with retro games in the 90s so.
>>2989031
I get what you're saying. Struggling with controls isn't good game design though. It feels like a barrier that you just adjust to. It's definitely satisfying though when swimming through shit stops smelling so much
>>2989031
>I feel it has a certain mystique that modern games don't have.
Well for starters, it isn't a cinematic AAA linear interactive movie that you stop and play for five minuets before handing the control back over to the game, while having your hand held through any 'exploration' segments and any sense of danger/control stripped away during quick-timer events.
It's the antithesis of modern AAA game design, or rather, the thing it's already become.
But...

Live-A-Live, along with a number of other fan-translated "gems," are just hipster trash. There's probably a good reason why Square never bothered to localize it. It's a highly niche title directed at Japanese audiences, and I doubt even they cared much for it. The mechanics are experimental but in no way innovative or fun, the story is short, the dialogs are brief, the characters are all flat, unemotional and largely insignificant to any bigger picture,...
